Some new ceramics bas-relief creations for Kapiti Art Trail, coming up the first two weekends of November 2025.
I'm experimenting with paint backgrounds on board.
The first picture is inspired by Charles Rennie McIntosh. I call it 'Nature to Decor'. The background is illustrated with black and white suggesting natural forms, then nature finds more definite form in the cascade of roses, and then the ceramic decorative tiles use Rennie-McIntosh inspired rose motifs provide the 'decor' component.
The second piece is called 'Armenian Archaeology', using an ancient design for the ceramic plate and the manuscript designs are drawn from 14th century Biblical illustrated manuscripts. The designs shown are drawn from illustrated Gospel texts. And all artistically 'antiqued' in keeping with the archaeology theme.
